"they have won some converts in certain industries, such as healthcare"
It seems like there are a lot of business applications for something like this. Truck drivers and cabbies could get easy to use GPS. Police officers can have information streamed (Robocop!). Waitresses could see when orders are ready. I'm sure there are military applications although they probably already have something similar. In short, there is a decent potential to be pretty USEFUL devices.
But no, Google insisted on marketing to hipsters. Instead of trying to be useful, they tried to make them "cool." And they should have known that wearing a computer on your face was never going to be cool.
